राज्य पुनर्रचना अधिनियम, 1956 नुसार संपूर्ण देशाचे विभाजन खालीलप्रमाणे झाले होते :

The correct answer is Option B (14 States and 6 Union Territories).

Key Points:
• Based on the recommendations of the Fazal Ali Commission (State Reorganisation Commission), Parliament enacted the States Reorganisation Act, 1956 and the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956.
• These acts abolished the old constitutional classification of states into Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D states.
• As a result, on 1 November 1956, the entire territory of India was reorganized into:
• 14 States (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Bombay, Jammu and Kashmir, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Madras, Mysore, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal).
• 6 Union Territories (Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Laccadive, Minicoy and Amindivi Islands, Manipur, and Tripura).
• Therefore, option (2) 14 States and 6 Union Territories is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 restructured India into 14 states and 6 union territories on 1 November 1956.
